By Kim McKinnon, PhD
Author's note: This is the second in a six-part series focusing on some of the latest things
we know about effective leadership - recent research, best practices and a specific approach
leaders can use to improve their own effectiveness.
Can those who work for you trust you? Are you someone who can be counted on? Do you always do
what you say you will do? Being able to respond with a confident "Yes!" is a good measure of
whether you will succeed in the first foundation role of the leader. This first role is to be
a "Guardian" - a protector, a sentinel - a person whose behavior establishes an environment of
trust. If you are not able to establish trust, you are not able to be a leader. You may have
the title and people may be required to do what you ask, but without trust you will have
disqualified yourself from experiencing true success as a leader - engaged employees, high
performing teams, close relationships and, perhaps, even enjoyment at work.

Assistant Manager
Town of Marana
Where are you originally from?
I was born in Connecticut, but I have lived all over the country, and most recently in the
Seattle, Washington area where I worked for King County.
Why did you decide to pursue a career in local government?
Politics and government were always a fascination for me, and as a teenager, my pleasure reading
would consist of books about notable political figures. The University of Florida had just
gotten the public administration program off the ground when I was a senior in college and
considering law school. I decided to pursue the duel law/public administration program offered
which required that the first year be spent in public administration classes. After that, I was
hooked on this field and never made it to law school.
